Even in this first book, Frost's voice seems mature and quite clear. It has a few of my favorite of his poems, though they are not his most famous, including Revelation and A Line Storm Song. He makes beautiful images, working through much of the same material (falling leaves, frost, rain, walks in the countryside), and he has a wonderful capacity with meter and rhyme. They almost never feel forced in any way, and seem to be as much a part of nature as the nature he describes.

I don't think I really understand poetry. I mean, I like Sylvia Plath, but that's because I'm a goth.

Robert Frost wrote pretty simplistic poetry about pretty simplistic ideas. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator gave a really ardent performance that didn't feel in line with the work or poet. That being said, this collection does a great job of transporting you to the place Frost may have been. His descriptions of nature and the changing seasons are great but he also really gets across this sense of loneliness and hopefulness and gratitude you might feel if you were to live in an isolated nature-filled place.

3.5 out of five stars.
i rounded the star rating up solely because of ‘my november guest’. i have that poem memorized by heart.
